We revealed that WhatsApp was introducing a new feature under development: the capacity to forward media with a caption. This announcement came after the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.23.15 upgrade. With the help of this function, you may continue to edit the captions on your photos, videos, GIFs, and documents while they are being forwarded. After installing the WhatsApp beta for iOS 22.23.0.72 update, the functionality has also been launched on iOS beta, and it is now finally accessible to select beta testers who install the most recent version of WhatsApp Desktop beta:
If you attempt to forward an image, video, GIF, or document with a caption, as shown in this example, a new caption view appears. The new caption view makes it simple to determine whether the caption will be included with the new message when it is forwarded to the conversations you select in this area. You also have power over whether or not to transmit the media since you may choose to ignore the caption by hitting the dismiss button. Please wait for a future update where the functionality will be broadly offered to more users if the feature is not yet accessible for your WhatsApp account.
After installing the WhatsApp Desktop beta 2.2245.5 update, the option to forward media with a caption was made available to certain beta testers, and it will gradually spread to more users over the next few days.
